Randall Flagg (VegasWalkinDude) is now following your updates on Twitter.

Someone is a clever bastard. Actually, I'm quite creeped out.

Yeah...

It's okay though, because you can also follow @motherabigail.

There's less of a chance you'll get nuked.

[these-3-remain.livejournal.com]

I'm confused.

[girlingoldboots.livejournal.com]

Oh that's weird. I was just thinking of re-reading "The Stand" with all the talk of the swine flu, etc.

[kaffy_r]

Hmmm. If VegasWalkinDude starts commenting on birds - say, a murder of crows - he's watching fly over a long, dusty desert road ... why then I'd be even more creeped out. Heh.

[redstapler.livejournal.com]

It's a reference to The Stand.

(Note, spoilers will be there.)

[brewsternorth.livejournal.com]

Ahh, 'kay.

I suppose it's no worse than a flistie who will remain nameless who tweets "as" Jeremy Clarkson.

[afterthree.livejournal.com]

That's really awesome. I just finished reading that book again.

[these-3-remain.livejournal.com]

Ooooookay. Thanks. The name Randall Flagg sounded vaguely familiar (I read half the book in high school) but I couldn't place it.

That IS rather clever, actually.

[stardragonca.livejournal.com]

Yes, The Walking Dude is following me too.
I'm on hold trying to arrange ambulance and not-so-elective surgery for an old lady I'm very fond of, and I'm soooo not in the mood.

[splix.livejournal.com]

I just remembered he wore a button that read "How's Your Pork?"

Heh.

[griffen.livejournal.com]

Brr. That plus the swine flu = creepy!

This is why I have a lock on my Twitter so that only the people I choose can follow me.

[karnythia.livejournal.com]

The Walking Dude needs to be a tagline for more people.

[hmrpotter.livejournal.com]

I just said the same thing yesterday in the stephen_king comm...

[coyotegoth.livejournal.com]

Yikes; so he did.

[genmaicha.livejournal.com]

... D:

[redstapler.livejournal.com]

OH GOD YOU'RE RIGHT.

[splix.livejournal.com]

Coincidence? Or prescience? ;)

[splix.livejournal.com]

Weird, eh?

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

@CaptainTrips Quit freaking us out, yo! #hypochondria

[stardragonca.livejournal.com]

There's also @MOONtomcullen.Probably others.
I'm following Mother Abigail and Tom, of course.
Probably all the same Dude guy...

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

holy hell, i would be WAY creeped out (that's not someone you want as a stalker)

[crewgrrl.livejournal.com]

That would freak me the hell out.

[dr-is-in.livejournal.com]

That's just creepy.....

I work in the medical industry (kind of) at a doctors answering service. The panicked calls we're getting from all sorts of areas balance between amusing and worrying.

Worrying is the call I got tonight from a mother in Alabama who's daughters are severely ill. The family was just on a cruise last week that made 2 stops in Mexico.

[smirnoffmule.livejournal.com]

That would creep me out.

[gairid.livejournal.com]

Start worrying if you find crow feathers in unexpected places. *nods*

[bodlon.livejournal.com]

*eyebrow*

Right. World ending. Puppy cuddling in T-5...4...3...

Scratch that. How are you at gunslinging?

[nekosensei.livejournal.com]

You know...I was just thinking about that today. I wonder if Stephen King was referencing swine flu? I didn't get the connection when I read the book because the virus was supposed to be genetically engineered. Of course, I was also in junior high school when I first read it so it probably would have flown right past me anyway.

[nekosensei.livejournal.com]

I must admit, I must be immature. I made a twitter account under the name Nadine Cross to troll him. Now I'm heckling @motherabigail and doing a little role playing because I find it amusing.

Did I mention that The Stand is one of my favorite books?

[splix.livejournal.com]

I could be wrong because it's been awhile since I've read the book, but I believe it was a reference to the police. IIRC, the button had a pig with a policeman's cap. I should check just to make sure, though. Could be a double reference, though - it would be interesting to see.

[darthhellokitty.livejournal.com]

Wonder if there's an upsurge in sales? I want to re-read it too now. I know I have it around the house somewhere, though...

[stardragonca.livejournal.com]

"Stevie's got the Shine!"

[stardragonca.livejournal.com]

I will too. I'm feeling better now.
